Pulsars are neutron stars that spin incredibly fast, up to 700 times per second, formed when massive stars collapse in supernova explosions; as the core shrinks dramatically while conserving angular momentum, its rotation speed increases dramatically, and these stars emit powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation that sweep through space like a cosmic lighthouse, creating regular pulses that can be detected on Earth with precision exceeding atomic clocks.

π Neutron Stars Can Spin 700 Times Per Second π€― Subscribe For More Interesting Facts.Added:
Neutron stars can spin [music] incredibly fast. Some rotate more than 700 times every second.
These rapidly spinning [music] neutron stars are called pulsars.
They form after massive stars [music] explode in supernova explosions.
Their cores collapse under extreme [music] gravity.
The collapsing core becomes very small while conserving angular momentum.
>> [music] >> Its rotation speed increases dramatically.
Many pulsars emit powerful [music] beams of electromagnetic radiation. These beams sweep through space like a lighthouse. When the beam points toward Earth, scientists detect [music] regular pulses. These pulses are so precise that some are more accurate [music] than atomic clocks. Subscribe for more interesting facts.
